Chapter 238 Concubine Lan Gui (Part 2)
The emperor's complexion changed, and he half stood up holding the dragon chair in shock, and then sat down slowly after a while.
The hidden guard had already disappeared into the darkness again, but the person was kneeling on the ground, apparently pleading guilty to the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand slightly, and then the hidden guard stood up, but Director Su couldn't see where he was hiding again.
Concubine Lan Gui was so severely injured that she passed out, and it took a long time to wake up, feeling a tightness in her chest, she couldn't help but spit out blood with a "vomit", and looked up at the emperor almost sadly.
The emperor raised his hand, and said to Su Yuanzheng who was kneeling in the corner: "Su Yuanzheng, go take care of Concubine Lan Gui."
Concubine Lan Gui didn't appreciate it at all, she might as well kill her like this.
Su Yuanzheng only obeyed the emperor's orders, so he stepped forward to heal Concubine Lan Gui.
"It's good to keep Concubine Lan Gui in my inner room."
"Your Majesty," Director Su disapproved, "A son of a thousand pieces of gold can't sit still. Concubine Lan Gui had the intention of rebelling, and she wanted to assassinate His Majesty just now. Even if His Majesty has secret guards to protect her, she shouldn't put such a dangerous person on the throne." around."
"Suyuan will find a solution." The emperor said lightly.
Su Yuanzheng responded in a low voice, and took out the golden needles and pierced Concubine Lan Gui's acupoints. Concubine Lan Gui's complexion became even paler, her hands and feet were numb, and she was still unable to move.
Su Yuan was thinking about the emperor's physical condition, and felt that it would be dangerous for Concubine Lan Gui to speak. After all, the emperor can't be angry or sad now, and words are sometimes a sharp knife, so Su Yuan is particularly straightforward to let Concubine Lan Gui The dumb acupoint of the body was also opened up.
Seeing Concubine Lan Gui opened her mouth but was speechless, Su Yuanzheng backed away satisfied.
Mr. Su saw that the emperor insisted on this, so he had no choice but to go out and ask the palace servants to carry Concubine Lan Gui to the inner room, and wait for her to wash and change her clothes.
After he finished these, Wan Peng came to report in person, "Your Majesty, the empress has arrived, and all the Tatar secrets in the capital and palace have been cleared."
"Didn't the queen take the opportunity to suppress dissidents?"
Wan Peng lowered his head and said: "No, there are people sent by the minister to supervise the journey, the empress is fair, and most of the people arrested in the palace confessed, but we need to investigate whether there are still people lurking in the dark."
The emperor nodded slightly, and said sadly: "She has always been like this, and she has never made a single mistake for decades."
Even if he digs holes for her and sends someone to lure her, she can control herself omnipotently, as if she is not alone.
Moreover, she taught the prince as well as she did. At this moment, the emperor felt relieved. He felt that even if he really died, with her, the prince, and Qin Xinfang around, Da Chu would not be chaotic. defeat.
Thinking of Qin Xinfang, the emperor twitched his fingers and said, "Go and invite the empress."
The queen was meeting her precious grandson, and when she saw Li An, the smile on the queen's face was a little real, she held him and looked him up and down for a long time, "It scared the emperor's grandmother, when the palace people came to report that you were assassinated, I I was worried about you and your father, and later I heard that it was your wife who saved you?"
"Yes," Li An said obediently: "The situation was critical at that time, and there was a master archer in the dark. Thanks to my wife, my father and I escaped."
The queen sighed, "This is the second time."
It's the second time to save Li An. Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu have shown great kindness to Li An. As a queen, she doesn't want such a benefactor on the head of the grandson of the future emperor, but she is still grateful to them, and she has already received You have to be grateful.
The queen said: "Prince Rong has been defeated, and your promise to the Qin family is about to be fulfilled, but I think it's better for your emperor's father to come here than for you to rehabilitate the Qin family."
"How is this possible?" Li An stared slightly, "Grandfather is the emperor, I'm afraid..."
The emperor is so good at face, he knew it was wrong and did not correct it back then, now it has been 15 years since the Qin family was convicted, how could the emperor plead guilty in reverse?
The corner of the Queen's mouth slightly curled up and said, "He will be willing."
The servant who was ordered to invite the queen just arrived, and the queen got up and changed into a more plain casual dress to go.
The emperor had already moved to the soft couch, and Director Su was feeding him medicine. Seeing the queen, Director Su hurriedly stood up and saluted.
The queen stretched out her hand, and Director Su immediately handed her the medicine bowl, bowed and stood aside.
The queen sat on the side of the couch and fed the emperor herself. The emperor turned his head slightly to one side after drinking half the bowl. Empress, no, there is also Concubine Lan Gui who is lying on the bed in the inner room.
The queen also knew that Concubine Lan was lying in the inner room, but she didn't look over at all, but asked the emperor straightforwardly, "How does Your Majesty plan to deal with the Lan family?"
"I'm going to die." The emperor said wistfully. The closer a person is to death, the clearer the mind seems to be. The things that have long been forgotten are clearly reprinted in the mind, and the memories of childhood are the most precious, and the memories of youth are the most beautiful. Young people's memories are the most soul-stirring, so he remembered them all.
As for his three important moments, the people who accompanied him the most besides Mr. Su were Taifu Qin and the empress, so the emperor looked at the empress with extremely complicated eyes at this time.
The queen's eyes softened slightly, but her face remained calm, "Your Majesty is blessed and blessed, and you will definitely be able to get through it."
"Su Yuan is saying that I only have these two months," the emperor said in a low voice, "I also feel that I don't have much time."
So after confirming that Concubine Lan Gui had indeed colluded with the Tatars, he stopped interrogating and sent people to arrest the Lan family. His time was running out, and he hoped to get this matter done before he died.
All those involved in the Tartars are to be put to death!
"Queen, I want her to be buried," the emperor begged with two eyes in his eyes, "I know that she has committed a heinous crime, but she is the woman I love the most in my life. I want her to continue serving me in the underworld."
Are you continuing to torture?
The queen thought faintly, seeing that the emperor didn't even say "Zhen", she said: "Mr. Lan is guilty, it is impossible to live in the side hall." Honor, I will not give in."
The emperor was silent for a while and said: "Then let her be buried as a slave and prepare a thin coffin for her."
The empress has no objection, the noble concubine of the Lan family was not only buried in the end, but also buried as a servant, no matter whether she was alive or after her death, I am afraid that there will be no peace.
The royal people are still very superstitious, otherwise they would not have built the tomb like a palace, and buried all their favorite things with them. The highly educated and superstitious queen felt pitiful for Concubine Lan, not to mention the low-educated and extremely Concubine Lan is superstitious.
Concubine Lan was so angry that her teeth creaked in the inner room. She wanted to commit suicide, but she couldn't move her hands and feet and wanted to bite her tongue. She couldn't bear the pain before she saw blood.
Tears burst out of Concubine Lan's eyes, slipped across her cheeks and landed on the pillow. She wanted to die, but was afraid of death, especially afraid of dying before knowing the situation of the fourth prince and the Lan family. Anxiety.
Concubine Lan Gui in the inner room was feeling ups and downs, while the queen outside still asked calmly: "Has Your Majesty decided how to deal with the Tatar matter?"
The emperor was silent.
The queen said: "Great Chu has lost so many good ministers because of the Tatars, and this time they dared to assassinate the royal family. I feel that this matter cannot be left alone."
"Great Chu has lived in peace for a long time, so it is not suitable to start a war." If anyone wants to lead the army to tear the Tartars into pieces, it must be the emperor, but he still remembers that he is the emperor of the Great Chu, so he Know that it is irrational to raise troops.
Let alone whether Da Chu can win, even if he wins, he will pay a high price.
The national treasury is empty. He has spent a lot of money these years. Taxes have increased unabated. If he wants to fight a war, he needs food and grass.
Where does the money come from?
Naturally, it comes from the common people. If you want to fight against the common people, you have to pay more. The emperor, who has become increasingly sober, knows that if the Great Chu pays more, I am afraid that it will really force the people to rebel. Unfortunately, there are more people who oppose it.
So although the emperor wished he could eat Tatar alive, he had to hold back his breath, and he vomited blood out of anger.
Of course the empress knew this too, she nodded and said: "The first emperor could regain his homeland after bearing the burden of humiliation for five years, and the crown prince and peace are worse, but it won't last too long, don't worry, we will remember this enmity, starting from the emperor's grandfather, This is the third generation."
The emperor's eyes were filled with tears at once, he pulled the empress excitedly, the tears couldn't help but flow down, "Zitong, only you can understand me."
He hated, hated Tatar, but hated himself even more for not being able to avenge his grandfather and father. This time, he also fell into the hands of Tatar, but if the prince and grandson could avenge him.
A raging fire flashed in the emperor's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's swallow this breath for now."
"The fifth prince of Tatar is still in our hands. He and the second prince are blood brothers, and the emperor of Tatar is getting old. What do you think, your Majesty, the second prince will succeed to the throne?"
This is to mess up Tatar, the emperor nodded, "Zitong is free to do it, if there is not enough manpower, then find Wanpeng, I will ask him to cooperate with you."
The emperor knew his wife. She was once praised by the Taifu as "wise and resourceful", and she was also generous. It was for this reason that the Taifu chose her as the queen among thousands of candidates.
Facts have proved that the Taifu's choice is correct, and the queen is indeed a very qualified queen.
The queen sighed, "Although Wanpeng is good, he is not as good as Junde."
The emperor was silent.
"Your Majesty, since Concubine Lan Gui has confessed, then you know that Qin's rebellion fifteen years ago was an unjust case, and was caused by the collusion between Tatar and Concubine Lan Gui. Does Your Majesty still want to make the mistake?" Seeing the emperor's unsightly face, the Queen continued He said softly: "The heirs of the Qin family are difficult. The Taifu only has one grandson, Junde. Apart from you, the only student taught by the Taifu is Junde, who is Ling Gong. When he was young, he was thrown into the academy by the Taifu. It can be seen that Tai Tuo loves Junde so much, do you really have the heart to let him stay in Qiongzhou for the rest of his life?"
The emperor's mood fluctuated, and he pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.
